About the program:
Working in the civic sector can be a highly rewarding, and at the same time a very demanding experience. Our training course wishes to tackle the topic of career planning and development through a unique combination of methodologies we find functioning and useful in our everyday lives. While providing the space for youth workers to work on their professional development and career path, we also want to equip them with the necessary knowledge, skills and attitudes to use the tools and activities they experience on themselves with their target groups – young people all over Europe.
